Does anyone like change out there, raise your hand! Yes, it's rather quiet right now. Well, indeed we don't line up for opportunities for change unless you're worn out in your present situation maybe, or a bit fried, or even depressed. Despite how we feel, though, we should recognize that the Harvest is the Lord's priority. And while a natural harvest is going on here in Illinois, a spiritual harvest is also going on. Not just people passing from life to death and going on to heaven...or to hell if they denied Christ :(. But also a spiritual harvest of those things dying in our lives to make way for the new--death to our flesh--youthful lusts aka all the things or pursuits we think are worth our investment of time, money and "love." Amazing enough, we can have a collection of good looking things to other Christians--all the things we give to others in the name of Christ--so that others looking at us think we are a "good person." These too can become traps believe it or not. But more than anything, I believe we are in a new season with the Lord and there is a clearing away of the old to now birth a new, just like these old dried up corn stalks and bean fields are being removed and stored away to be sold for a price, to make room for the future, but also to provide us a clear view for what's next. God has a plan, but we must align ourselves with His Way and His Truth with the help of the Holy Spirit in order to experience His Life in this next season (John 14:6). We don't have to be completely clueless in our walk with Him, did you know that? Jesus said that He would share with His "friends" what His future plans were, if we were doing what He commanded us to (John 15:15). He said that "if" we love Him, we keep His commandments--not just because we say we're a Christian (John 14:15). He's looking for those who are willing AND obedient...these will be those who will eat good of the land (Isaiah 1:19). God bless you!
